While we knew that Snooki Tweeted last night, expressing her hopes that Hurricane Irene did not take out the Jersey Shore house, we were left wondering if the stars of Jersey Shore would be heading out of town, or if they were planning on riding out the storm. TMZ has now revealed that the stars have left New Jersey, last night actually, before Hurricane Irene’s arrival.

Apparently, MTV was not about to have the Jersey Shore cast miss the VMA’s tomorrow, so a private jet was charted to take Snooki, Sammi, Deena and Vinny to Los Angeles. According to the site, the others stars are busy in other parts of the US, such as Pauly D in Oklahoma and Jwoww is in Las Vegas hosting a party at PURE. They did not give any word on the whereabouts of Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, but we are sure he is safely out of harm’s way somewhere.

To all of our viewers on the East Coast, stay safe, we wish you all well during the storm!
